Problem Textures are not displayed on Mars

[Mangust82]

Good day! What a day wrestling with such a problem. Mars has no textures. The problem with Orbiter 2016. It should be noted that at first the textures were, and then disappeared. Reinstalling the Orbiter didn't help. No textures appeared. I decided to reinstall Windows, but the problem remained - there are no textures on Mars. Moreover, textures of both standard and high quality are available for the Earth and the Moon. But Mars is always colorless - either on the standard Orbiter 2016, or after installing high-quality textures.

Hello

There is no reason, we must be able to solve the problem ...


1) Check in your windows explorer if you have this:

a folder <your Orbiter> \ Textures \ Mars \ Archive

and in the "archive" folder a "Surf.tree" file.



2) then, look in the launchpad windows (with D3D9) in this window (video tab) :



Then "advanced" :



and tell us if you have "Cache & archive" activated ....

 

[Mangust82]

There is. And everything is also included as in your screenshots

When launching Orbiter from D3D9, this appears



But the default Atlantis spacecraft, near Earth, works fine with D3D9

It looks like the symbolic link is not created for D3D9. Please do this through the following steps and try again:

 

[Mangust82]

Thank you! I'll come home - I'll try

 

[Mangust82]

Thank you. Orbiter launched from D3D9, but there are still no textures of Mars. It's a shame ...

I think you should reinstall Orbiter 2016. If you installed this using MSI, then you should re-run the MSI to uninstall and then install it. If you installed this using ZIP, then you should delete the "Orbiter2016" folder and unpack the ZIP file again.

 

[Mangust82]

Already before that I reinstalled. But I tried again. Deleted, cleaned the registry. I downloaded the archive again - unpacked it. Without changes...

 

[Mangust82]

Maybe something needs to be changed in the graphics settings of the computer itself?

After all, before that, the textures were displayed normally, and then they suddenly disappeared.

Could this problem be due to the fact that I check the MER-2003 addon on Mars? Tell me some addon for Orbiter 2016 to work well on Mars.

Previously, MER-2003 worked on Mars, and suddenly the textures disappeared and still do not appear

 

[gattispilot]

So only Mars has no textures? Can you start a DG scn and place it on MArs? If you see textures then you may know if the MER-2003 is at fault

Could you check that /Config/Mars.cfg has a line "TileFormat = 2" if not then add it. There could be some add-ons those overwrite the Mars.cfg with something that doesn't work on Orbiter 2016.

 

[Mangust82]

Apparently, this is really a MER-2003 problem. Delta Glider 4 on the base is loaded with textures. Now I will try to add a line to the config. The thing is that MER-2003 functioned well in Orbiter 2016. And somehow the textures suddenly disappeared. Maybe then tell me projects like MER-2003 to make a flight from Earth to Mars, with descent to Mars, and landing of a descent vehicle with a rover, adapted for Orbiter 2016?

 

[Mangust82]

Checked it out. There is a line in the config: "TileFormat = 2"

 

[Mangust82]

Many thanks to everyone who tried to help. It really was a MEP-2003 problem. Other addons loaded on Mars without problems, with textures


Although I still don't understand why MEP-2003 worked fine for me on Orbiter 2016 before, and suddenly such problems started

 

[gattispilot]

Glad it works. Which MER 2003. It may not be coverted to 2016

Could you check that /Config/Mars.cfg has a line "TileFormat = 2" if not then add it. There could be some add-ons those overwrite the Mars.cfg with something that doesn't work on Orbiter 2016.

The issue is that MER-2003 makes use of it's own custom Sol.cfg file which is called "Sol_MER-2003.cfg. This one points not to the standard Mars.cfg file but rather its own yet again custom Mars_MER-2003.cfg file. So the problem boils down to that the add-on makes use of obsolete config files. I guess the assumption was made that the add-on would be updated if changes to the Orbiter core was made.

 

[Mangust82]

Glad it works. Which MER 2003. It may not be coverted to 2016

That's what surprises me. After all, at first he worked, and successfully. And then suddenly it stopped working. If it didn't work right away, there would be no questions. Well, I figured it out - the problem is in MER-2003 itself

 

[Mangust82]

In order not to spawn new topics, I will ask two more questions in this thread: Martian missions on Delta rockets, on the launch pad are inclined - how to fix this?




How to achieve such a Sun effect in Orbiter?

 

[gattispilot]

On the delta rocket. Which add-on? No clue Abt the sun effect
